Have the type of energy that commands respect.

This requires first one to respect oneself. Not a shallow surface level type of respect. The type of respect in oneself that extends down to one's very marrow. One can not genuinely respect others until they respect themselves.

Then it requires one to be able to extend respect to others in general. Not only when one agrees with the other. Not only when one likes the other. Not only when one is respected by others.

True respect is given, not taken. True respect is offered, not bullied into submission. True respect is earned through integrity, honor and character ... not by title, rank, age or wealth. Have the type of energy that commands respect.
